Mr Sam Pedder

As a PE teacher, Head of Year, Assistant Principal and now Vice Principal, Sam's focus within education is developing the wellbeing of students so they can lead active, healthy lifestyles whilst developing holistically throughout their time with us at Jumeirah College. His passion in education lies within pastoral care, safeguarding and the monitoring of progress so that all students can fulfil their potential.

Sam believes that all students should be offered exciting opportunities every day to improve as a learner, both inside and outside of the classroom. He believes students should embrace all elements of school life and emphasises how this plays a major part in developing student’s overall happiness by participating in a variety of activities outside of the classroom, whether this be within sports, the arts, academic enrichment, leadership, volunteering, charity work or participating in the IA programme.

Sam hopes that all students leave us to become lifelong learners who demonstrate the 6 JC core values (Kindness, Resilience, Integrity, Positivity, Respect and Gratitude) whilst gaining a plethora of experiences that help them in their future careers and lives.
